Summary

Taconic Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Craryville, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 538 students. The school is part of the Taconic Hills Central School District, which is ranked 620 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Taconic Hills Elementary School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in New York State Assessments, is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 31.75%, compared to the state average of 54.15%, and the 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 35.94%, compared to the state average of 59.7%. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with its ranking among New York elementary schools ranging from 1003 to 1568 out of around 2,400 schools. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and Hispanic students performing better than White students.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $23,918 in the 2023-2024 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, Taconic Hills Elementary School's academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning. Notably, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 56.69% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than nearby schools like Cahill School, Ichabod Crane Elementary School, and Mill Road-Elementary School.
